PERSONAL FACTS ABOUT

By J. D. C.
On the authority of some of the
local “fortune hunters” who, in quest
of fabulous wealth, have migrated to
the west the slogan “Go west, young
man, go west” is there replaced by a
modern hailing sign, “Welcome
suckers.”

Are you acquainted with the fel

and who satisfies (maybe it should be
“appeases”) it with six cent weeds,
when he is invited to indulge when he
calls for Fifteencento, or some other
respectable brand, with that easy
familiarity that is presumed to only
come front’ long and close acqpain
tanceship.

A delegation of local fishermen
were down on the river bridge last
night angling for bull heads without
much success. After an hour or two
of effort in which time only a turtle,
one bull head and a carp had been
landed, a barefooted kid came along
from up stream with a three-foot wil
low stick which was strung with bull
heads. He prepared to cast in when
one of the members of this party, who
had up to this time shown no results
although profuse with remedial sug
gestions to his friends, took over the
boys pole and explained to him how
to property bait it and use it to snare
the elusive bull head. The kid ac
cepted the corrections as befits a true
sport while the members of the other
party voted a concrete bicycle to their
friend.
A complete report on the activities
of the Y. M. C. A. with the A. E. F.,
by George W. Perkins, Chairman of
the Finance Committee of the War
Work Council is now at hand, and
having had some experience with the
Y. M. C. A. and having at first hand
seen the service they were rendering
in both France and England, and be
ing able to understand Mr. Perkins’
views from his official position, which
are hardly in accord with mine, and
further knowing that a great majority
of the people in this section gener
ously contributed to this cause anc
therefore are interested in what they
accomplished we will take up a few
phases of Mr. Perkin’s report: In ex
planation of the canteen service
which in my judgment was rotten
Mr. Perkins remarks that transpor
tation was difficult and expensive
which also accounted for the high
prices and he points with beamine
pride to the fact that the canteer
operations showed a loss. He further
laments the heavy work this duty put
on the shoulders of the Y. men which
could not be performed by men above
middle age. Personally I never seen
a Y. hut while I was in the army—
and I .was in a position to know—
where they did not ask for and receive
soldier details to clean out the place,
keep the fires going, unload their
supplies whenever they got any, and
in the base ports and larger centers
to sell the goods; the only thing they
did not ask them to do was to save
souls. I saw many a time when the
canteen would be out of smoking to
bacco (this place never had any
candy) and cakes for four and five
days, claiming no transportation, bui
during this time there would be twe
or three different “religious directors’
drive in in big luxurious cars to poinl
out the way to eternal bliss. Anc
during this time the government hac
from one to two trucks making daily
trips to Paris who would have gladly
and generally did haul the supplies
for the Y. In another place Mr
Perkins calls attention to the sight
seeing department: In Paris the Y
had several large motor busses whicl
would, I should estimate, carrj
twenty-live to thirty-five people
apiece. They made two trips a daj
around Paris each of about three
hours duration. The fee was five
francs or one dollar apiece. In Londoi
they had a similar sightseeing ar
rungement but there they were drawi
by horses and the trip lasted from tei
a. m. until 4 p. m. for one dollar, o
four shillings. I don’t see where the;
lost any money or are entitled to mucl
credit for thet, do you? He furthe
calls attention to five hotels the Y
operated in London. I was then
many times up to and including th
15th of October and during that tim
there was only one American Y. hote
and that was known as Eagle Hui
The battle cry there was “Look wha

! THE UfPvERSA'L CAR j
For the greater protection of owners of Ford
{Mu cars, that they may receive the largest possible
! service from their cars, the Ford Motor Company ‘i s!!
has adopted the liberal policy of selling to any | III I
if responsible Garage throughout the United States, |||||.
the Genuine Ford Parts, upon such Garages
agreeing to give the real Ford Service. ; : 'i
This accomplishes two splendid results. First,
the widest possible satisfactory service to the
IH| owners of Ford cars; Second, a larger and more
IHI profitable business for every Garage.
The millions of Ford cars in daily operation
mean a large volume of service business through- J‘ ;
out the country. The number of authorized Ford
dealers is not sufficient to care for his immense ,* ;
■ volume of service trade, but now, however the ;
, \\ Ford owner may drive, in any direction, in any
I III state or territory, he will be within arm’s reach
of reliable servi.e with the benefits which come
from the use ux genuine Ford Parts. There is now
|r no reason why every owner may not demand and
f insist upon genuine Ford Parts being used when
■ III his car requires attention.
We use nothing but genuine Food parts.

the Y. is doing for you boys, Isn’t she
grand,” meanwhile getting pictures
of the many famous Americans who
were then in London for the preser
vation of the Y.’s glorious record and
for the edification of future genera
tions. All this time the Y.men,ofwhom
there were always betwen 75 and 150
around would be ducking in ahead of
the enlisted man on two days leave for
the theatre tickets or the sightseeing
trips or anything else that ■ might
spring up worth while. Our organiza
tion played the first game of any kind
ever staged in Hyde Park, London,
and it was base ball under the aus
pices of the Y. Besides the umpire,
who was a Y. man and a good one,
there were six Y. men out to supervise
the game and they all squeezed into
the movies that were taken. You
should have seen the number of Y.
men around their headquarters in
London and noted the severe mental
and physical strain Mr. Perkins says
they labored under. The Y. M. C. A.
is unquestionably the best self adver
tising organization in the world.
They done a lot of good, but not
nearly what they could have done had
they measured up to their opportunity.
With reference to Mr. Perkins’ report

question whether you are going to
i believe a man who has made a two or
three weeks inspection, of this or
ganization after the armistice, and
then possibly from the inside of a
luxurious limousine, or whether you
l arc going to believe the soldiers, on

t comfort the Y. dedicated herself to
. spend it. In the army, or since I have
been out, I have yet to see the soldier
that has a good word to say for it; on
the other hand I have yet to see one
who has a knock for the Salvation

Death of Mrs. C. W. Tullis.
Mrs. C. W. Tullis, for many years a
1 resident of this county, died at the
home of h.er son, Walter, at Lynch,
Nebraska, last Saturday morning,
after an illness of several weeks of
infirmities due to advanced years. The
funeral was held last Sunday after
noon, the remains being interred in
the cemetery at Mineola, at the side
of her husband who passed away ten
years ago.
Anna E. Briggs was born in Henry
County, Illinois, on April 9, 1849, and
was seventy years, two months and
five days old at the time of her death.
In 1865 she was united in marriage to
Charles W. Tullis. Three children
were the fruit of this union, all of
whom are still living. They are: John
H., at Gooding, Idaho; Walter, of
Lynch, and Mrs. Ida Trullinger, of
Rockey Ford, Colorado.
In the spring of 1882 the family
_ i
moved to this county, homesteading
near Mineola, where they resided until
after the death of Mr. Tullis, who
passed away on November 22, 1909.
The following spring Mrs. Tullis went
to Lynch where she remained with
her son, later going to Mountain View,
Mo., where she resided until the
spring of 1918, when she returned to
Lynch. Last summer she went to
Colorado and spent a few months at
the home of her daughter, returning
to Lynch in Novehiber in failing
health. She was taken seriously ill
eight weeks ago and was confined to (|
her bed, but remained cheerful to the
last. Early in life she united with the
Baptist church, uniting with the
Methodist church at Mineola about
fifteen years ago. Besides her three
children she leaves eight grand
children and a host of friends to
mourn the death of a kind and loving
mother and friend.
Another nice rain, amounting to
about one-half inch, fell here this
morning.
